Grimdark, Combat/Arena, Furry, Tragedy, High School, Romance (as the main plot), Smut (as the main plot)

Yes, all the time >.< I find going out of the box helps

Freewrite. Whatever you have in your head about the idea, write it down. Even if it's super abstract, even if it's just a single area of the setting or object in the world, write about it, explore from it.

Draw! Do you think in visuals? Most people do! Doodle and draw and get it in front of you to explore that concept!

But I will sometimes want to get my hands dirty and directly influence the plot.

Favorite Genres:

Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Adventure.

Do you mean having an idea but not knowing what the idea is?
Only in a tip of the tongue manner, I had it, a I forgot it, and am now scrambling to remember it.

Or do you mean in a knowing it but not being able to word it manner?
Cause that happens to be a good amount, and it really bite's whenever I'm DM'ing a tabletop, because I don't even got the luxury of sitting behind a screen and focusing until it comes back again. That and I'm not so good at wording stuff in general, got into more than a few miss-communications over that before.

Off Topic Examples(Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content)

One time on TS I was talking about the false 'guy kills himself over black lead in star wars' story, and was saying how stupid killing yourself over such a thing is... People misheard it as me saying having a black lead was stupid.

Another time when me and some friends were doing that "Teens/Young Adults trick-or-treat briefly" deal, and Mom was pulling the whole "It's only for children!" I was somehow misheard as comparing age limits to slavery.

My Usual Online Time:

Writing Levels:

Adept, Advanced, Prestige

Genders You Prefer Playing:

Male, Female, Androgynous, Primarily Prefer Female

Playing Style- Passive or Aggressive:

I'm a mix of passive and aggressive. I like letting a partner do the huge work involved in GMing sometimes, but I won't be lazy about it and make them the only one that pushes the plot forward. I also like being a GM, but I expect my partner to do what they can to move the plot forward without having their hand held the whole time. I also enjoy plays where both parties play an equal role. Regardless of passive, aggressive, or switch, communication is what makes it work.

Favorite Genres:

I'm open to a wide range of genres. Obscenely wide. I tried making a list, but it was excessively long. Here's the trimmed version:

I will not play furry, fandom, yaoi, or yuri. Gay and lesbian are fine, but I refuse to use the sexist tropes inherent in the Japanese-named genres (for those who don't understand me on this, I will gladly explain my views). Romance can be included, but it will never be the main genre.

Minibit as always has good suggestions.

What I like to do is use notepad (or sublimetext for those who like tabs and autosave) and just... write ANYTHING I have at all. Even if it doesn't make sense. Also, try looking at TV Tropes to see if you can figure it out through that, or use Seventh Sanctum, Chaotic Shiny, or Feath's Bookcase. Any of those three offer random generators that might make the idea click into words.
